To make it extra special, include items like a large soup cup with handle, organic chicken noodle soup, crackers, tissues, magazines, a DVD and crossword puzzles or word searches. Keep in mind, if the recipient is on a special diet, it may be wise to leave out any food items and just stick with happy things that will keep them from being bored and restless. Gift Baskets to Welcome the New AdditionBaby baskets are not only packed with useful items, they're also fun to create! If your baby gift is for a shower present and the gender is not yet known, stick to neutral items and color selections. If you include a stuffed animal or toy in your basket, remember to check that it is child proof and there are no parts that may fall off and become a choking hazzard. Sending Deepest Smypathies with Gift BasketsWhen people are facing a great loss, they tend to not focus on themselves. Eating a good meal and nourishing the body is very important in times of stress. When you choose to send a sympathy basket, you're not only expressing your concern, you're also helping to allow the recipients to get some nourishment without the hassle of preparing a meal. Flowers are a nice gesture, but you can be sure a gift basket will make a more meaningful impression. Sympathy baskets should contain items that can be shared amongst the family. Here are some examples of such items: fruit, cheeses, crackers, nuts, gourmet flavored iced teas, cookies, seasoned pretzels with a gourmet honey mustard dipping sauce. Remember, it is not reccommended that wine or any other alcohol be included in a sympathy basket! jobs by

Know Someone Who Has Everything?It can be challenging to find the perfect gift for the person who has everything! When you're faced with this dilemma, simply ask yourself, what do they do for entertainment? What do they do for relaxation? What is their passion? Does he love to barbecue? Would she rather go roller blading or take a hot bubble bath? Remember, gift baskets are a great opportunity to show the lucky recipient that you've really given a lot of thought to their personality, and that in itself, is a very special gift! With a Little Imagination, You Can Create Your Own Gift Basket!Once you know what to put in your basket, the rest is easy! Start by stuffing your basket with newsprint or styrofoam peanuts in a tightly tied plastic grocery bag to just about two inches below the edge of the basket. Cover the stuffing with tissue paper. Next, arrange your items with the larger boxes or bags toward the back. Think of a handheld fan and spread your items out. Finish with the most decorative or special items directly in the front center of your basket. Now, the fun part! Using colored shred or 6 inch squares of tissue gathered at the middle, fill in the spaces between and behind your items. You can also add silk flowers, greenery or little clusters of wrapped candies (with just a dab of hot glue) as decorations. Set the basket in the middle of a large piece of cellophane or tulle (purchased at a fabric store) and gather the corners up to the top, pulling on any slack. Fasten at the top by tying curling ribbon in a tight knot. Now add a big bow, letting the ribbon cascade down along the sides. Voila! A masterpiece! A Gift for the HomeWhether it's a college graduate's first apartment or your parent's vacation getaway, gift baskets make the perfect housewarming present. For Mom and Dad's beach house, include sunblock, towels, their favorite magazines or books, and instead of a basket, a bright and sunny tote bag is an excellent container. For the young man entering his first apartment, an assortment of kitchen items such as: dish towels, pot holders, serving and cooking utensils, cookie dough and a cookbook arranged on a baking sheet and overwrapped in cellophane with a big raffia bow is a great way to get them started! |
